Daniel Tupou - SOO (Back Up Wing Option)

[DP1990]

Origin Talk


Both wingers for NSW last night played extremely well. Addo-Carr and To'o played fast, strong and direct, and will no doubt be selected by default for game 2 but hypothteically if something were to happen to either of them (suspension or injury for example... PS: I hope not !) then surely next cab off the rank for a Wing spot would be Daniel Tupou ?


Unlucky that he's arguably the third best winger in the comp and for NSW (I think he's the best Winger overall... a little bias), hence why he's just missed selection but if not Tupou then who else gets the call up as a replacement instead ?


Thoughts ?

i would have picked toops for the game and would pick him for game 2 even though to'o played so well so you're preaching to the choir with me

I can't see the team being changed at all but under the current put everything on report there will be a few players unavailable due to suspension which might get Tupou into the team.
I hope the team stays as it is and this crackdown is relaxed a little.

[Johnny Tobin]

I think Toups is the best winger in the game - just ahead of the Fox.

[RoosterFanNZ]

To'o did really well, but was caught out on multiple occasions with the high ball, all could've resulted in qld tries.

tupou deserved to be in the team from the start, but anything that favours the roosters im fine with

You would think so but if you believe the rumours they were very close to picking Ferguson so it looks like Freddy has gone cold on Tupou.

[Bruce Pickett]

Addo Carr has to lose that ridiculous hop when returning kicks. Especially as adds little oomph in contact. Every player in Nsw got at least an 8 in my book. Fox - 6.

How is To'o's defence? That didn't exactly get tested last night.....

Yeah ... that's strange ... not sure what Toops has done or said wrong that would get him overlooked

Toups easily does everything that To'o did last night. Probably better.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Toops should have been selected ahead of To'o, no question he is better in every aspect of the game.

Did nothing to lose his spot either.

The only thing I can think of is that they are trying to look long term. No other reason. Thats said, Touops is only 29 so should still have a few years ahead of him yet.

got me buggered!

[Mickie Lane]

If I they don’t want to play for Australia then they shouldn’t be playing SOO.

[King Salvo]

Not fussed myself - may get a look in for game 3 because as sure as the sun rises and sets it will be 1 all and a game 3 decider.

Shame that Freddie didn't have the courtesy of giving him a call about why he missed out.
